Ludlow: One hundred years of silence
Frank Petrucci’s three brothers and a sister died in the Colorado Coal War. His family and the nation still struggle to talk about it.
A little more on this era of American history in high school would, I think, make for a better informed populace.

Yeah, I can't help but think that much of my hardcore Libertarian phase could have been skipped had I understood about the actual history of how the violence between union and those who'd avoid slave labor only in name actually played out.

Agreed. And thank *you* for sharing. I missed all of U.S. history in high school, so I find this kind of thing extra educational.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
